Eggs for Brain Health! 🍳

New data shows a link between eating eggs and a 47% reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

90% of Americans are not getting enough of the nutrient choline.

Choline in eggs (one of the highest sources of choline) is a neurotransmitter essential for memory, mood, and muscle control. Therefore, ensuring adequate choline intake can support cognitive functions and may help in preventing certain neurological disorders along with optimizing health.

In this new study, the researchers attribute the potential brain benefits of eggs to the choline in egg yolks.

It’s been known that the nutrient choline found in egg yolks, is associated with a slower rate of memory decline. This new study is even further confirmation.

“Two eggs per day is the goal for meeting recommendations for choline and other key nutrients for brain health,” study investigator Taylor Wallace, PhD, CEO at Think Healthy Group and an adjunct nutrition professor at Tufts University. This level has been shown to be unarguably safe in clinical studies, even in those with diabetes and those with or at-risk for cardiometabolic disease.

Did You Know? 🫐

Blueberries are very nutrient-rich & if you freeze them, actually improves the bio-availability of the antioxidants/polyphenols.

Ice crystals that form during freezing disrupt the structure of the plant tissue, making the anthocyanins more available. Plus frozen berries are less expensive.

New study just dropped & it’s very interesting:

People sipping only ~1.3L water/day (~6 cups) had WAY bigger cortisol spikes during stress tests vs those downing ~4.4L (~18 cups). You might not even feel thirsty—urine showed dehydration but brains didn’t flag it.

How? Low hydration ramps up arginine vasopressin (AVP), which saves water in your kidneys BUT also fires up the HPA axis, pumping out more stress hormone cortisol. Basically, mild dehydration keeps your body in low-key fight-or-flight mode.

Moral? Keep that water glass full for calmer stress responses 💧😌

Bloated? Many factors can cause a bloated belly such as gas, constipation, water retention, fluctuating hormones.

Here are everyday spices that can naturally and powerfully help alleviate it.

1. Ginger
2. Fennel Seeds
3. Cumin
4. Black Pepper
5. Cinnamon
6. Peppermint
6. Coriander Seeds
7. Cardamom

How to use these spices for bloating: Steep them for hot tea, add them to smoothies, cooking, add them to salads, add them into salad dressings.

They also can be used as supplements.

The squat is a foundational movement for life.

If you can’t squat, you can’t rise from a chair, from the floor, or even walk upstairs.
Squats build the leg power that keeps you independent and mentally sharp.

One 10-year twin study found that greater lower-body strength predicted slower cognitive decline and better brain health.

Regular squatting triples leg strength, improves blood sugar, and increases bone density.

If you can’t do a deep squat or complete squat, you can do a half squat. Just do what you can. You don’t need heavy barbells either. Use goblet, machine, or body-weight variations that fit your body.

As I’ve mentioned before, Strong legs equal a healthy brain and a long life.

The Morning Air Minute 🌞

Step outside within an hour of waking and stay there for one full minute, even if that’s all you’ve got. Morning light (not just sunlight) and fresh air help cue the body clock and can support alertness early in the day. Keep it tiny enough that it still happens on busy mornings.

🦠 Exciting gut news! A new study highlights *Roseburia inulinivorans*, a friendly bacteria that often declines with age. In humans, higher levels link to better muscle strength (grip, leg press & more). In mice, supplementing it boosted grip strength by ~30%, increased muscle fiber size & even shifted fiber types!

This little microbe may help combat age-related muscle loss as we lose muscle starting in our late 30s. Future probiotics could be game-changers. 💪

To support it naturally, enjoy inulin-rich prebiotic foods like garlic, onions, leeks, asparagus, chicory root & Jerusalem artichokes — plus a Mediterranean diet full of fruits, veggies, whole grains, legumes & olive oil. 🌱🍅

🧠 Important note on creatine & brain health research!

A new commentary highlights a key flaw in a 2024 meta-analysis claiming creatine supplementation boosts cognitive function in adults.

The issue? Double-counting — researchers treated multiple related cognitive test results from the same participants as if they were independent. This artificially inflates the stats and can lead to overly optimistic conclusions.

Similar problems have popped up before. After fixing the same error in another study, the overall memory benefit disappeared (except possibly in older adults).

Even the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) flagged this and said no solid conclusions could be drawn from the data.

Bottom line: Great topic, but we need a proper re-analysis before we can confidently say creatine sharpens your mind.

Science moves forward with good corrections!
